George Gould q Model Benedict.

According to common reports, says the
New York Tribune, George Gould has set
tied down into a most exemplary usbaud
since his marriage with Edith Kingdom
He has become so engrossed in his bust
ness that his old companions at the New
York Club are inclined to complain a little
of his neglect of them. One of them said
yesterday: sit is not often that a rich
mans son settles down with the ambition
to become richer than his father, but that
is just what George Gould seems to have
done. 1t is not so long since we used tc
see him every night or two at the club
with a jolly lot of fellows around him
Now we never see him, but the fellows
say that he has grown tremendously am
bilious for vast wealth. He will be a very
rich man without waiting for his fathers

By using kerosene on the roOsts, re-
moving the droppings frequently and
whitewashing the walls once every
month the vermin may be prevented.
After trying the value of skinned
milk and buttermilk as food for hogs
and laying hens New Jersey man
came to the conclusion that it is worth
much more to feed poultry. 1t keeps
them in good laying condition and is
cheap as other food. Poultry can be
kept with especial profit on dairy
farms.
Lemon sauce: Crate the yellow
rind and squeeze the juice of one
lemon; mix together. over the fire, one
ounce each of butter and sugar, until
they bubble; stir in a half-pint of boil

rind and juice of the lemon, and serve
in a sauce boat with the dumplings.
Do OF let the sauce boil after adding
the lemon, or it will be bitter. - inct1a-

As corn is staple crop it is usually
made a staple food for hogs. When
closed in pens but very little clean,
fresh water is given them. If turned
on the growing clover they are ''ring-
ed'' in order to prevent roofing. What
is necessary to prevent the epidemic
diseases i'll heards is to give the hogs
the same attention that is bestowed on
all other classes of stock. Because
"any thing will do for hog as is
supposed, is no reason for combining
the animal to single diet or with
holding green food and that which
affords variety. The hog is not nat
urally filthy animal, and can no more
thrive in filth than can the steer, while
pure air and water are necessary.
